February 25th, for those who didn't know, marks the year 20 for Nintendo's march on North America with its Nintendo Entertainment System. Boy oh boy, I remember the day of playing my NES, sitting down playing Super Mario Brothers 3 while eating an English Muffin that my grandma made. Yum indeed! The only shock is that I never owned Metroid of Zelda, dunno why but I never had them. I had the Mario games (minus 2), Die Hard (which was cool), some Looney Toons games, and a handful of other awesome games that I frogot about. Okay, I never dove into Mike Tyson's Super Punch Out until I was a bit older and had a comp and I loved that game every second of it! And I'm not the one who plays Sport games seeing as they flood the market via "Roster Update" =p
Just think about how much we have accomplished graphic wise in 20 years. Look at the great improvements we have made. But, even as the technology gets more advanced, these games on the NES will still see play, will still be remembered as the start of the industry that was to be. But as long as there is Nintendo and the loyal fanbase, the NES will forever be in gaming history.
